Thailand Stocks Ease to 3-Week Low

2026-10-21 04:58 By Farida Husna 1 min. read

Thailand’s SET50 Index extended losses for a third session by noon Wednesday, slipping toward 1,038 and touching its lowest level since early October.

Sentiment weakened after September consumer confidence fell from a six-month high, while headline inflation hit a five-month peak of 2.82%.

Still, gains in U.S.

stock futures helped limit the downside as markets assessed the latest corporate earnings releases.

Locally, Bangkok last week approved a THB 50 billion housing loan program aimed at helping low- and middle-income households access homeownership.

The scheme is also designed to support economic activity, with authorities estimating it could generate up to THB 125 billion in property-related output.

Sector-wise, industrial services, energy, and transport stocks led the decline, outweighing gains in communications, consumer durables, and financials.

Among the laggards, Delta Electronics fell 4.1%, followed by Kiatnakin Phatra Bank (-2.6%), Banpu (-1.4%), and Bangkok Bank (-1.1%).

Thailand Shares Rise Further to 4- Week High
Thailand’s SET50 Index rose for a second straight session on Monday afternoon, hovering near 1,060 and approaching a four-week high. Solid export and import growth in September boosted sentiment, alongside factory activity expanding at its fastest pace in nine months. Meanwhile, Thailand received investment applications totaling THB 1.7 trillion in January–September, surging 28% yoy, propelled by electronics, digital infrastructure, and food industries. Stronger U.S. stock futures also lent support as oil prices retreated ahead of the Fed’s interest rate decision later this week. Energy minerals and logistics led sectoral gains, followed by consumer and healthcare stocks. However, losses in non-energy minerals, manufacturing, and retail trade capped the upside. Among the top performers were Delta Electronics (1.7%), Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (1.6%), Bangchak Corp. (1.4%), and Cal-Comp Electronics (1.1%).
